Self Portrait Test Shots/ Final images

 I took this test shot to create an affect of the confetti being blown into the air.  At first I started close up with a regular lens.  Then I decided to change my lens to a 55x300 zoom lens.  I set the camera on a tripod and moved farther back, letting the camera lens zoom in.  I also changed the effects, and filter  on the picture to blur out the background, and make the picture a bit darker to focus on the confetti.  This picture was achieved using burst settings.  

I took this picture on a tripod with flash.  I wanted to create a more dramatic affect, so I later removed the flash so the picture became darker, and more gloomy.  The camera was also set up on a bit of an angle, and I was against a corner of a wall.  This image was on auto-focus.

Final Images 

    

I love this image because there is a circle of light surrounding 

the shoes, allowing the focus to be on the shiny heels.

  The back round of the image is darkened, and a bit blurred.

I love how there are many spoons with the image of a

 persons reflection on it.  It shows the same image from 

different angles.  The background surrounding the spoons is

 blurred out to create a focus on the spoons.

I love how the person is standing in the middle of the street. 

 The back round fades out and the road and cars are blurred. 

 You can see the lights from a distance.  All the focus is on the person.
